"Damn peaceful" you sound like a southern sheriff. "We like things damn peaceful round these parts"

^Double yuck, a crossover parked in the driveway of a snout house

I hate that anyone's "dream car" is a crossover. Can't you dream any bigger than something that is a compromise in every single way? It's not a price thing either -- granted the secondary market hates crossovers as much as I do so there is money to be "saved" but... I'm starting to get burned out on YouTubers and their delivery. The rabbit ears here in Columbus just added a channel that is all old History Channel shows from the mid-late 2000s so I watched Ice Road Truckers episodes from 2007 last night. It was so much more relaxing than this "Hey Guys" stuff. Despite being History Channel content there has been no Hitler so far. Oh and in contrast to the Grandview Fusian standing in for Oakley's, the shots of Jeff Wyler are not of his Canal Winchester location despite Eastgate being Cincinnati's Canal Winchester

Race Street will be "Timed Competition Event" Street

I actually get lost more easily in the 'burbs and find them more anxiety-inducing. Not stuff like Montgomery, Evendale or even Anderson that have a grid, but the newer ones with cancer layouts. Grid systems offer a safety valve for mistakes and help you navigate intuitively. On the other hand, one-ways totally break that and need eliminated in as many situations as possible.

Those big screens are just a fad made to impress on a short term basis. Sorta like in 1989-90 when Sega Genesis games started making the characters bigger and bigger so that they looked better in the Sears catalog and GamePro. It didn't take long for kids to figure out the bigger the guys were the worse the game was... at least until Street Fighter 2 came out. A lot of things from the late 2000s to 2019 is going to look silly in a few years, like people are going to say, "All people thought about all the time was the internet back then, wasn't it?"

There's more to blame than Amazon for not seeing as much retail space as in long-activated area -- there aren't things like hatters, butcher shops, shoe repair, flophouses, tailors etc. needed every three blocks like in the old days.

I don't really know what to think of this. It's like a brand extension in the vein of Trix GoGurt in some ways, but will it hurt actual Mustangs? Initially you want to say "of course" but how much did the Pontiac Trans Sport dustbuster vans from the early '90s hurt the actual Trans Am?

^He called ME an EV zealot, lol. Even though you essentially called me a "short" a while back! Oh well, water under the bridge in your case. I'm might have just been that he was trying to argue with too many people at once.

I don't care about electric cars personally and probably won't own one for a long time. Read the thread... I have criticized Tesla endlessly. They still don't know what they're doing as a car company and the build quality and delivery issues seen in the 2018 article you posted are examples of that. And they have the Shamwow guy running the show. I'm frankly getting tired of you posting wrong information about energy used for transportation in the United States and insulting me (using a totally inaccurate insult at that... you might as well have called me a cat. Read the thread.) just because you did one paper on ethanol use in Brazil while you were in college during 2004 or whatever.

Oh, I remember that now. That was back in 2018 when they were having shipping/transport issues since Elon finds practical stuff like that too boring.

I feel like Jalopnik would be all over this considering how much they love running any Tesla story.

Hey, I did understand the "apprenticeship programs cannot be at Vandelay Industries" part

So more expensive than the average EV charge but at price parity with 87 octane.

It was too bold of an assertion not to attract attention.

Show him the footage that was filmed in 1983 of Dio's craft beer bar in his basement.

Cincinnati has 6 different roads named Straight St.

Only blue-collar people drive on Wayne so of course it's going to left in bad shape.

Japanese dealers don't do that because the company knows how to make money on every car. They are slicker in the F&I office though.

It is in my own personal interest to hype up ethanol since we are in corn farming. We made a lot of money when corn prices were through the roof during the 2007-2012 ethanol hype period. Yet those limitations (and subsequent overproduction due to the high prices and hype) are specifically why corn crashed after the 2014 season and has barely recovered.

You ain't kidding, I was like "wait, what?" on the 529 provision. Like, how would you still have 529 monies after college if you took out loans? Why wouldn't you use those first? Or why are you being loaned excess student loan money if you have 529 money?

There is pretty much no difference in the functionality of the E85 vehicle. Operating costs are determined by the corn and fuel markets. Vehicles use 25-30% more E85 than gasoline so that must be factored in when comparing on a gallon-by-gallon basis. Today in at the Speedway station in Galloway E85 is $1.79 a gallon while regular 87-octane E10 (gasoline) is $2.39 -- a difference of 25% -- so moot when you are using 25% more of it. There is no difference in the maintenance schedule or pretty much anything else. It is easier on the catalytic converters, but today's cats aren't 1986 Mustang cats that only go 40K before plugging up. https://e85prices.com/ohio/columbus.html

I actually feel Tesla has done a very bad job of selling the cars to the average environmentalist/liberal/hippie due to the Shamwow sales techniques. The Left does not like being talked to like that. Instead they've done a very good job of selling it to early adopter tech worshipers whose past is full of iPhone 1s, Panasonic 3DO consoles, MiniDisc players, liquid-cooled graphics cards, and HD tube TVs.
